5 Ways You Can Revolutionize Your Mindset and Level-Up
Have you experienced a time in your life when things seemed to be going around in a circle, instead of moving up, and it felt like you were falling? Anything you touched, looked the same. Anything you did, brought the same results. Anything you wrote just sounded the same, and you knew one thing. You either bring some new and fresh ideas to the table, or you are out of the game.
Just recently, I have been going through this stage of my life. It wasn’t just the boring part which frustrated me, it was the feeling that I am not moving anywhere. It felt like I am delivering the same quality all over again. So I brainstormed and found this fantastic course which I completed within 2 days and put some ideas into practice immediately. As a result, I finally broke through this boredom bubble and felt alive again.
The world is moving so quickly that adjusting to this speed reminds me of a marathon. For some of us, it may seem too fast to catch up, and others see it as a great challenge to improve. So, how can you keep it up with this great era we live in and deliver the best of yourself?
Here are 5 ways to do just that:
1. Absorb more knowledge
Devote yourself to learn one new thing every day. Either find out more about the area of your expertise or improve your spiritual self. Knowledge is power. You can lose everything in life but not your mind and what’s in it.
Some of us tend to slow down once we reach certain goals and kind of chill. This dangerous territory to stay in. You will not only prevent yourself from growth, but you will adopt new, disempowering habits.
We all need some refreshment once in awhile, something new which gets us excited. The best way how you can level-up is always staying focused on progress and working on your craft.
“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” – Albert Einstein
2. Make a plan while having a plan
Do you remember a situation when you set a goal which you were dying to achieve? You had such high expectations; you visualized yourself and how wonderful your life will be once you reach it. Then the big day came. Instead of enormous excitement and happiness from achievement, you found yourself depressed and frustrated, maybe asking “Is this it? Am I crazy that I am not happy? What’s wrong with me?”
There isn’t anything wrong with you. The only problem is that you didn’t set up another goal after the one you achieved. While you were working towards your previous goal, your body was in a constant movement, always creating and working hard, pushing and pushing. Your journey may have been hard, but there was always something going on; emotions flying around. Now you have nothing else to do since you’ve reached all you wanted.
Always have something else prepared. Don’t achieve what you want and then relax. Remember that one day you are on the top of the mountain, the other day you are borrowing money from some scamming company to pay your rent. Always keep it up. That’s the only guarantee for yourself.
3. How can you make it better?
Whatever you do in life, there is always some room for improvement. Constantly ask yourself these questions: “How can I make it better? How can I make it different?” Sometimes it may take you 3 months, 6 months to come up with this one fantastic and life-changing idea which will turn your life and business around. Time doesn’t matter, results do. By using these questions, you will be focusing on how to level-up in the area of your interest or how to improve yourself.
This creative mindset doesn’t apply to only money and business oriented success. What about your intimate relationship? How can you make it better and spice it up? What can you do for your better half to gain that dating intimacy again? Always brainstorm new ideas because there is no ceiling above your head.
4. Follow the best
Your mentor or your role model, should be like a map you follow. They will not only show you what to do and what direction to go, but he or she will challenge you and kind of piss you off. I don’t know about you, but sometimes, when I look at my role models and people I admire, I get sort of upset that I am not there with them. I want to hang out with them and know what yoga class they go to.
Some of you may say that your role models are too big to talk to, too busy to respond to your email. That’s fine. Buy their courses, follow them on social media or watch their videos on YouTube. Every single piece of information is a stepping stone to your success. Observe, learn and stay curious.
“What is a teacher? I’ll tell you: it isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.” – Paulo Coelho
5. Become hungry to fail
Sometimes you need to fail hard to rise to your highest potential. Failure brings not only experience but also a pain. This pain is a great way to motivate yourself and come up with better, more compelling ideas which allow you to improve.
I know you don’t want to fail. I get it. But only by making mistakes can you find out what works the best. Let’s stop seeing failure as this big scary monster we run away from. Often it is the best teacher which gives you experience and builds up your mental strength to endure more in life.

The Leadership Shift Every Company Needs in 2025
Struggling to keep your team engaged? Here’s how leaders can turn frustrated employees into loyal advocates.

In workplaces around the world, there’s a growing gap between employers and employees and between superiors and their teams. It’s a common refrain: “People don’t leave companies, they leave bad bosses.”
While there are, of course, cases where management could do better, this isn’t just a “bad boss” problem. The relationship between leaders and employees is complex. Instead of assigning blame, we should explore practical solutions to build stronger, healthier workplaces where everyone thrives.
Why This Gap Exists
Every workplace needs someone to guide, supervise, and provide feedback. That’s essential for productivity and performance. But because there are usually far more employees than managers, dissatisfaction, fair or not, spreads quickly.
What if, instead of focusing on blame, we focused on building trust, empathy, and communication? This is where modern leadership and human-centered management can make a difference.
Tools and Techniques to Bridge the Gap
Here are proven strategies leaders and employees can use to foster stronger relationships and create a workplace where people actually want to stay.
1. Practice Mutual Empathy
Both managers and employees need to recognize they are ultimately on the same team. Leaders have to balance people and performance, and often face intense pressure to hit targets. Employees who understand this reality are more likely to cooperate and problem-solve collaboratively.
2. Maintain Professional Boundaries
Superiors should separate personal issues from professional decision-making. Consistency, fairness, and integrity build trust, and trust is the foundation of a motivated team.
3. Follow the Golden Rule
Treat people how you would like to be treated. This simple principle encourages compassion and respect, two qualities every effective leader must demonstrate.
4. Avoid Micromanagement
Micromanaging stifles creativity and damages morale. Great leaders see themselves as partners, not just bosses, and treat their teams as collaborators working toward a shared goal.
5. Empower Employees to Grow
Empowerment means giving employees responsibility that matches their capacity, and then trusting them to deliver. Encourage them to take calculated risks, learn from mistakes, and problem-solve independently. If something goes wrong, turn it into a learning opportunity, not a reprimand.
6. Communicate in All Directions
Communication shouldn’t just be top-down. Invite feedback, create open channels for suggestions, and genuinely listen to what your people have to say. Healthy upward communication closes gaps before they become conflicts.
7. Overcome Insecurities
Many leaders secretly fear being outshone by younger, more tech-savvy employees. Instead of resisting, embrace the chance to learn from them. Humility earns respect and helps the team innovate faster.
8. Invest in Coaching and Mentorship
True leaders grow other leaders. Provide mentorship, career guidance, and stretch opportunities so employees can develop new skills. Leadership is learned through experience, but guided experience is even more powerful.
9. Eliminate Favoritism
Avoid cliques and office politics. Decisions should be based on facts and fairness, not gossip. Objective, transparent decision-making builds credibility.
10. Recognize Efforts Promptly
Recognition often matters more than rewards. Publicly appreciate employees’ contributions and do so consistently and fairly. A timely “thank you” can be more motivating than a quarterly bonus.
11. Conduct Thoughtful Exit Interviews
When employees leave, treat it as an opportunity to learn. Keep interviews confidential and use the insights to improve management practices and culture.
12. Provide Leadership Development
Train managers to lead, not just supervise. Leadership development programs help shift mindsets from “command and control” to “coach and empower.” This transformation has a direct impact on morale and retention.
13. Adopt Soft Leadership Principles
Today’s workforce, largely millennials and Gen Z, value collaboration over hierarchy. Soft leadership focuses on partnership, mutual respect, and shared purpose, rather than rigid top-down control.
The Bigger Picture: HR’s Role
Mercer’s global research highlights five key priorities for organizations:
-
Build diverse talent pipelines
-
Embrace flexible work models
-
Design compelling career paths
-
Simplify HR processes
-
Redefine the value HR brings
The challenge? Employers and employees often view these priorities differently. Bridging that perception gap is just as important as bridging the relational gap between leaders and staff.
Treat Employees Like Associates, Not Just Staff
When you treat employees like partners, they bring their best selves to work. HR leaders must develop strategies to keep talent engaged, empowered, and prepared for the future.
Organizational success starts with people, always. Build the relationship with your team first, and the results will follow.
